The properties of silicon carbide ceramic
are very similar to diamonds - it is one of the lightest, hardest and strongest
technical ceramic materials, with excellent thermal conductivity, acid
resistance and low thermal expansibility. When physical wear is an important
factor, silicon carbide is a good material because it has good corrosion
resistance and abrasion resistance, which can be used in various applications,
such as nozzle, shotgun nozzle and cyclone component.
Silicon carbide ceramics (SiC) is a kind of
advanced ceramic material containing silicon and carbon. It exists in nature as
an extremely rare mineral called mosamite. Synthetic SiC powders have been
mass-produced since 1893 for use as abrasives. Silicon carbide particles can be
sintered together to form very hard ceramics.
With the rapid development of modern
national defense, nuclear energy and aerospace technology, automobile industry
and ocean engineering, the requirements for materials are getting higher and
higher. High performance structural ceramic materials are widely used in daily
life. Silicon carbide ceramic materials have high high temperature strength,
good wear resistance, small coefficient of thermal expansion, high hardness,
thermal shock resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and many other
excellent characteristics, so it is widely used in automobile, machinery,
chemical industry and other industries. , environmental protection, space
technology, information electronics, energy and other fields. Silicon carbide
has become an irreplaceable structural ceramic with excellent properties in
many industrial fields. For example, silicon carbide ceramics in the
petrochemical industry has been widely used as corrosion resistant vessels and
pipes, in the machinery industry has also been successfully used in a variety
of bearings, tools and mechanical seals. Beyond that, silicon carbide is
considered one of the most promising candidates for future production of gas
turbines, rocket nozzles and engine components in the aerospace and automotive
industries.
